It turns out that SEIU-UHW’s sell-out contract with the Daughters of Charity Health System is
getting rave reviews… from the Boss!
Just hours after Dave
Regan rammed SEIU’s contract down workers’ throats through an unconstitutional
ratification vote, the billion-dollar company’s chief negotiator issued a press release where she gushed
about how the company’s new contract with SEIU “moves employees to more modern, streamlined pension and medical benefit
plans.” The negotiator goes on to
say: “I commend SEIU-UHW for joining
DCHS in this important step forward.”
“More modern, streamlined benefits?” That’s one way to put
it. Actually, Regan’s new contract freezes workers’ defined-pension pension
plan, forces them into a 401(k) plan, and compels employees to pay as much
as $900 a month for health insurance for their families.
Not so "modern," right? Although John August would say it’s positively “21st
Century.” Looks like Dave Regan, John August and the Bosses are singing from the same
sheet of music!
